Question
**Problem 16: Calculus Exercise**

*Objective:*

1. Find the maximum and minimum values for the function \( f(x) \).
2. Estimate the integral \( \int_{1}^{3} \sqrt{x^2 + 1} \, dx \).

*Instructions:*

- Start by determining the critical points of \( f(x) \) to find its maximum and minimum values. Use derivative tests to confirm if these points are indeed maxima or minima.
- Once you have found these values, proceed to estimate the given definite integral.
- Consider the behavior of \( \sqrt{x^2 + 1} \) over the interval [1, 3] and apply appropriate numerical methods for estimation if necessary (e.g., trapezoidal rule, Simpson's rule).

The task involves both optimization and integration techniques commonly encountered in calculus.
